Question

if (x-2) is a factor of x3-2x2-px-2 find the value of p hence factorise the expression completely.. please give the answer its important ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x-2

x-2=O

x=2

p(x)= x3-2x2-px-2

p(2)= (2)^3 - 2(2)^2 -p(2)-2

8-8-2p-2

-2p-2 =0 ( here 0 stands for remainder)

-2p=2

Therefore p =1
